Love the guys! Ads are too loud and I am constantly adjusting the volume. Thanks for looking into this.

Bad audio quality, low content volume, then boosted volume for commercials

Tony, move on. Just because you are multi vaxed, does not mean it is or was right for a much younger and healthy Arron Rogers.

Please do something about your volume issues. The podcast is barely loud enough to hear and the commercials make your ears bleed.

Calibrate your audio between show and advertisements. The volume shoots way higher when it goes to the ad and terrifies my kids.

I’ve been listening to PTI for a few years now, but all of a sudden the sound quality has significantly decreased. The commercials are no significantly louder than Tony and Michael. I have to turn the volume up significantly to be able to hear anything

The ads are loud but the pod is softer. Guys, can we please level the audio?? Love the show, thanks!

In recent episodes the show’s audio is quite faint compared to the intervening ads. Don’t know what’s going on but something is wrong.

Is there anyone you guys can figure out how to match the sound level of the show hosts with the commercials? The hosts were low and the commercials almost blew my eardrums

Please fix the volume on the commercials, it’s about three times the volume of the commentators.

Tony and Michael have been doing this show for 1000 years and it’s still one of the most entertaining around. I hope they stick around for another 1000. Note to the audio guys. For the love of all that is good in this world, please check your audio levels against the commercials. I sometimes need to turn up my volume to hear the show only to have my eardrums blown out by a commercial that is 3x louder.

Hope you both live long happy lives with some PTI on weekdays!

You’re seriously in error. Kyrie had a bulging disc. So That many hours was too great for his situation. Especially when you realize the other guard who made his life easier (Luca) as well as another guard/forward were traded from the team, and no replacement brought in! This was a Big mistake that Dallas brought on itself. This isn’t a case of resting just for the sake of resting.

Outstanding sports entertainment. A bit too often for my liking, incorrect facts are presented. Sometimes these inaccuracies are addressed later in the show, as often they are not

Tony and Michael are the GOAT

We have the recent announcement that Around the Horn will be mercifully canceled, a show that became a parody of itself in it's woke safe space, sports moralizing. A show that proudly promoted a diversity of guests that surprise surprise all had the near same exact opinions, a "sports debate show" that never offered a counter argument or viewpoint outside of a largely liberal agenda. MSNBC sports balk talk. Headed by host Tony Reali who increasingly becoming so incredibly self-important and lacking zero self-awareness becoming one of the biggest shmucks on ESPN. Less Fonzie more Screech. PTI the bigger brother to ATH has fallen into the similar irrelevancy and absurdity. Long time host Michael Wibon, the bloated corpse of a TV personality, whose predictable schtick or takes - subpar black head coach fired after multiple years below 500 win %, Wilbon doing his best Al Sharpon, bellowing the firing was "racism." eye roll. Tony Kornheiser, once had a likable curmodgeonish charm, now all that good natured charm is gone. In a recent story on tennis star Djokovic, who rightly fought against mandatory vaccination, Kornheiser, still hiding in his attic, did a hatchet job misconstruing facts, twisting truth in an attempt to portray Djokovic in the worst light possible. Tony Kornheiser, who likely idolized Muhammad Ali who famously fought against serving in Vietnam taking on a political cause at a cost to his professional boxing career is now recognize being on the right side of history. Kornheiser, maybe in his feeble old age isn't able to see the parallels to Djokovic, and will likely be cast as one of those crusty reporters, how unAmerican Ali was. Kornheiser, hang up your hat before you further embarrass yourself, it shouldn't be hard with you still in your attic.

Tony and Wilson are always a kick to listen to. Their perspectives are interesting and they bring a certain morality to their discussions. I look forward to hearing them every day!

Mike, I figured out why your voice sounds horse all the time. 24/7 screaming “shut up” and “get off my lawn”. Maybe YOU should shut up! Now please get off my lawn.

I love this show so much and have since its inception. TK and Wilbon feel like old friends and I can’t wait to hear their takes when significant events happen is sports. My one complaint is of their regular guests. Jeff Saturday and Booger McFarland are sadly not worthy of being regulars on the show. Neither are insightful or entertaining. Both give ordinary/unintetesting takes in folksy tones. When it comes time for “five good minutes” with them I fast forward through. Would rather have more mail time, what’s the word or all those old goofy segments they used to do like role play, good cop/bad cop than hear these two guests.

I love Michael to death, but I just can’t listen to that voice anymore. The needless shouting and worsening hoarseness has become unbearable

Mike and Tony are still excellent. And Frank is pretty good. Pablo Torre is insufferable. I refuse to listen or watch any episode with him. When will ESPN learn?

Love these two together!

I love PTI!! I do not like Pablo filling in, however. He doesn’t want to be there!!! The episode on Friday was rife with his complaints about the show. I would imagine thousands of sports talkers like Pablo would kill to be given this opportunity and he’s treating it as a punishment. Send him back to Lebatard.

Love Tony and Mike and their witty takes on all things sports, started listening 30 yrs ago. However recently the ads are SOOO much louder than the broadcast, I can’t listen to them at my favorite time, before bed—It’s like an alarm goes off every 7 minutes! This only happened recently—please go back!

Why is the audio level so bad!! You can’t hear the guys talking and the commercials blow your ears off.

You 2 are a Legendary Institution when it comes to TV Sports Media. A Trailblazer for sure! Please speak out and what we just watched in the Women’s Boxing I. The Olympics. We NEED to SPEAK UP! That looked like Domestic Violence to me and yet…. the Mainstream Media is silent. Do the right thing Fellas! Respect! 💯🇺🇸

Love Tony but Wilbon is such a narcissist. Every topic has to somehow link back to someone he knows, likes, or has some connection to Chicago. Today, he linked the Olympic gymnastics team to the Cubs! I enjoyed it but now I’m done.

He’s just as aggressive/ angry/nonsensical. Makes no sense.

Tony and Michael.Their curmudgeonly chemistry is the best banter available.No disrespect to the other hosts but..I want Tony and Mike!Long live (and host)

“I can, and I just did, and I’ll say it again”. That my friends, is exactly why we love Tony

Great show! Move to Fox. Woke ESPN is a joke.

Anyone else out there tired of only getting Tony and Mike three out of five days a week? Talk about phoning it in. And while we are on the subject, can we mix up the guest hosts just a bit? I like Fill-in Frank and Ivy League gasbag Pablo as much as the next guy, but how about expanding our horizons a smidge? Oh well. Anyone is better than Mina Kimes I guess. I think I just ensured that this review does not get published with that last sentence.

Who are you that is reading through the reviews going, gee, let me see what all these people think to decide whether or not I want to give this a shot? Have you not heard of PTI before? Do you not know exactly what it is? Are you 7 years old perhaps and your parents don’t let you watch TV? Or maybe you are not a sports fan? In that case, this show is not for you. I suppose if you’re not from America but are looking for the number one sports talk show that will give you a quick rundown of the big topics in sports (as viewed from the US), then sure, maybe you need a review. Well, look no further. You found it. It’s better if you can actually watch the TV show but honestly I have been getting by with just the audio for years now it’s still pretty good.

This is my favorite show of all-time. Love the chemistry between you two. What can I say, something's are meant to be perfect and that's you two. Keep it up please. BUT TURN UP THE SOUND!!!!!!

I’ve been watching and, subsequently, listening to these two for 19 years now. For a very long time, they were maybe not always insightful on certain topics, but they were at least sharp enough to be able to understand things, even when they disagreed with them. But recently, they have gotten very, very stuck in their attitudes, and unwilling to admit that they can be wrong. They have become a pair of brick walls. For instance, as I type this, they just published an episode where they begin by covering the impending release of Russell Wilson from the Broncos. Wilbon, needing to get his digs in against the “analytics people”(who don’t make acquisition decisions, which you would think a guy covering sports since the 1970s would understand by now, but we can’t let that get in the way of a narrative!), starts mocking the “analytics” that told the Broncos to trade for him, before then… telling us Wilson actually “didn’t play badly” and blaming his performance on the rest of the team. Which… if that’s true, then the “analytics” boogeyman he hates so much did a decent job, right? He even advocates for Wilson getting another starting job! And this is fresh off the intro to the show, so it’s not like he’s had time to have his attention waver. He just leans on his ignorant narratives and says the same pointless nonsense every day(well, every day that he shows up, which is like 2/3 days?). I could get a list of the show topics 20 minutes before it was recorded, and by the time he starts to talk, I could tell you exactly what he’s going to say the entire show, minus his occasional anecdotes from 30+ year old encounters with coaches and executives, which he just uses as a vehicle to complain more about young players in every sport, as usual. Kornheiser at least occasionally seems like he’s trying, but winds up looking lost more often than not if you watch the video feed or pay attention to his pauses. It’s sad to see them aging like this.

This podcast has degraded to the point of no return. The hosts are terrible and the content is horrible. These guys are out of touch and are too old to keep up with today’s sports stuff. They should go babysit their grandkids instead of wasting others’ time. There’s is no integrity and honesty with these guys and they continue to sugarcoat things. Stay clear of this podcast and look for something honest and reliable.

The guys continue to be the excellent grumpy old men we’ve come to know and love, and the sound mix from show to the commercials has improved a lot! Now if we can just get them to stop running that AT&T 5G helmet ad we’ll really be in business. Honestly it’s been running on this show for so long it makes me cringe at the mere mention of AT&T now.

Someone please tell Wilbon to stop yelling about men’s b-ball and “one and done.” This shows he has not been paying attention for several years. Look at the rosters. Look at how NIL is keeping almost everyone around longer and longer—some high profile one and dones, but very small numbers.

Been on forever That doesn’t happen if these guys are bums and the show isn’t any good. Quick, concise, entertaining… Enough said!! Thank you gentlemen for decades of entertainment and news!

Brian Wyndhorst is clearly a gay boy. I’m sick of listening to him talk about how hot he thinks basketball players are.

Hey this is an old episode. Where is Mich vs UW?

you put out the wrong episode today.

Four stars because whoever is responsible for uploading this podcast is often asleep at the wheel. Sometimes episodes just cut off in the middle, while others are posted with totally wrong dates. The upload dated 1/9/24 was an older episode from mid-January 2023. Inexcusable carelessness. I struggle to think of any other podcasts that suffers from so many basic technical issues. Ruins the experience despite the amazing regular hosts.

Make it stop!!!!!!

Love the show, going to lose my mind if I have to hear about whatever the Gallaudet Bisons are. Incredibly annoying stupid commercial on wayyyyyyyy too much.

WILL THEY FIND A HOME, SPONSORED BY GEICO! Blows out my ears at the end of every podcast unless I can fast-forward in time. I really don’t need to hear about the futuristic AT&T helmet every single day for two minutes, either. That’s another instant skip.

Come on, Wilbon. You don’t have to be an elder to know about Kitty Hawk and don’t care about TikTok.

OMG STOP WITH THE HELMET AD!!!! I hate AT&T now!!

The ads are blowing my ear drums. I love this podcast but I’m deleting it for a month to see if they fix it. They are seriously 10 levels louder than thé regular podcast. It seems to only be thé Geico ads. They are causing hearing damage.

Love the pod but the BLASTING of the ads is enough for me to stop subscribing. Why does anyone think that helps the show or the advertiser? It only sours the listener on both.
